Contour thigh supports
Medium anti-slip - art. 1075M
The contour thigh supports provide better support thanks to their enclos-
ing shape. The shape places the user in more of a seated posture than the
standard thigh supports. Sliding is reduced.
Muscular dystrophy thigh supports
Small - art. 1079S
Medium- art. 1079M
Muscular dystrophy thigh supports are used to prevent persons with weak muscle tone from slipping out of the
body support. They are often used with muscular dystrophy patients. These thigh supports can also be used with
amputees.
■In order to slide the Velcro strap over the thigh support, first place
the thigh support in the correct position, with the longer end facing
forward.
■Slide the Velcro strap over the thigh support so the longer strip of
Velcro faces downward and the metal buckle is suspended from the
inside of the thigh.
■Secure the Velcro strap to the thigh support by pulling the narrow
portion of the strap over and then under the thigh support and
fastening it to the Velcro material on the bottom side of the Velcro
strap.
■The thigh supports must be fitted near the upper end of the thighs,
with the long end facing the back of the knee. The thigh supports
can be fitted either on the outside or on the inside of the legs.
■Pull the strap through the metal buckle and close it firmly around
the thigh above the knee.

6. Instructions for use
6.1. Thigh support fix functionality
The thigh support fix has a self-locking feature: increased load on the
thigh support will secure the thigh support fix more tightly around the bar,
therefore preventing the thigh support from slipping.
To move the thigh support fix, there should be no load on the thigh
support. Press both legs of the thigh support fix together to move the thigh
support fix along the bar..(B)
6.2. Lifting from a seated position
step 1. Lower the body support vertically from above the user until
the lower edge of the cups is approximately 0.79 inch / 2.00
cm above the user's thighs.
step 2. Place the cups on the user's chest and ensure that they
remain far enough below the armpits. To do this, either
stand behind the user with your arms under his or her arms
or stand next to the user.
Ensure that the cups are fitted correctly around the user's
chest.

step 3. Lift each of the user's legs in turn and slide the thigh
support in place, either high on the thigh near the groin or
halfway along the thigh.
step 4. If you fit the thigh supports relatively high, there will be less
weight on the cups. If you fit them lower down, there will be
more weight on the cups.
step 5. Adjust the length of the thigh support bands so that the user's
legs are lifted at the same time as his or her torso. The selected
position of the thigh support bands and thigh supports has a
large effect on the comfort of the user.
step 6. Before continuing, check to make sure that the cups are
properly fitted around the user's chest. Avoid placing them
too high under the user's armpits or too far in front or
behind the users arms.
The user's arms must always remain outside of the body
support.
step 7. Press the "UP" button to lift the body support slightly, and
then check the positions of the cups and thigh supports once
again. The user's legs and torso must be lifted at the same
time. Ensure that the user is comfortable. Continue lifting
until the user is free of the floor.
step 8. Transport the user.
step 9. Lower the user far enough that the thigh supports can be removed easily.
step 10. Let the thigh supports hang gently against the user's legs and remove the cups.
6.3. From wheelchair to toilet
step 1. The user's clothing can be lowered while the user is
suspended above the toilet.
step 2. Press gently against the user's knees while lowering the user to
position him or her correctly on the toilet.
step 3. Maintain light pressure on the cups so the user remains sup-
ported by the body support while seated on the toilet. This
compensates for the user's lack of torso stability.
step 4. Constantly check the comfort of the user.
6.4. From wheelchair to bath
step 1. After undressing the user, you can bathe the user by lifting
him or her in the usual manner and moving the user to a
position next to or behind the bathtub.
step 2. Then lift the user above the rim of the bathtub and guide his or
her legs into the tub.
step 3. Once the user is in the tub, maintain slight pressure with the
cups to provide supplementary security for the user.
step 4. Remove the thigh supports to simplify washing.
OK OK

6.5. From wheelchair to bed
step 1. Place the user in the wheelchair next to the bed and lift him
or her up to bed height.
step 2. Position the body support above the bed and guide the user's
legs over the edge of the bed.
step 3. Lower the user into a comfortable sitting position and then
remove the thigh supports.
step 4. Now lower the user further into a lying position. Use pillows
for back support.
6.6. Lifting from a lying position
step 1. Bring the user into a seated position by adjusting the back
support or placing pillows behind the user's back.
step 2. Lower the body support until it is just above the user's pelvis.
step 3. Place your hand on the user's back and press him or her gently
forward into the cups.
step 4. Use the "UP" button to apply enough pressure on the cups to
hold the user securely.
step 5. Now fit the thigh supports. Increase the pressure and check that
the user is sitting comfortably.
step 6. Lift the user. It is not necessary to lift the user far above the
bed. Simply swing the user's legs over the edge of the bed and
then move the user to the desired location.
6.7. Lifting from the floor
step 1. Place the user flat on his or her back. Lower the body
support until the cups are located just above the user's
pelvis.

USER GUIDE SUREHANDS®BODY SUPPORT
p. 13EN
step 2. Kneel down behind the user.
step 3. Place the user's head in you lap and use you knees and thighs to
bring the user into a sitting position.
step 4. Reach your arms under the user's arms, grasp the cups, and pull
them back and around the user's chest.
step 5. Use the "UP" button to apply a bit of pressure to the cups so
the user is held securely.

step 1. Arrange the user in a sitting position before you lift the user.

arms closed and keep the thigh supports out of the way.
The body support should preferably be stored in a dry place.
